Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

chetan_r411 First of all, a note to the haters, who are thrashing the movie by saying it is not fit to be a homage of DDLJ, get a life. Any movie aspiring to be a DDLJ does not have be as good as the former. HSKD is too good to be true for a movie with DDLJ hangover. I am not going to judge this movie on the basis of how closely it pays homage to DDLJ. I will rate the movie on its own merit and it definitely deserves 3- 3.5 out of 5.First of all, full marks to Aalia and Varun for portraying their characters so effortlessly. Some people are complaining about Aalia's character whether any small town girl would behave like Aalia behaves in this movie. Two things, anything in the vicinity of NCR is not a village or small town, period. Plus, she is shown as a darling of the family and spoiled and at the same time vulnerable and I don't think Aalia could have done any better. She is Kareena Kapoor of this generation. Varun plays typical good for nothing middle class Delhi guy and he does equally good. Siddharth Shukla was supposed to look like a hunk when compared to Varun and he did an OK job. Thankfully he didn't really need to perform much, so he somehow balanced his act. Screenplay lacks detailing, I know today girls and guys could be close friends and can even share dirty jokes, but I guess a scene where Aalia watches porn (string operation) with the guys was too much, may be in 2025 but not right now. It reminds me of a scene in Rock-star where Ranbir and Nargis watch a c-grade movie in theater and can't stop giggling. I don't know where our writers get these kind of ideas, they do not happen even in most urban society. Also screenplay is full of clichés, but good acting saves the day. Direction by Shashank Khaitan is good, one big mistake he did is he and the marketing team promoted this movie as a tribute to DDLJ. If they had promoted this as another regular love story, box office collection and appreciation could have been much much better. Good luck to Varun for acting with his idols in Dilwale, hope that will rock.

stella sharkey I just created an account now in IMDb just to write a review about this crap that I watched few hours ago. I cannot believe people are rating up to 3 stars out of 5 and 6.1 rating!!! I just wish there was zero or negative in the vote!If you are a big DDLJ-SRK fan please stay away! I think these people have lost their mind and they think people who watch movies are stupid and mean enough to like an awful story like this. Have this director ever watched DDLJ??? I personally feel that this is perfectly crafted to mock and insult the lovely performance of SRK and Kajol in DDLJ!!! Boy I wish they would never watch this pathetic movie. I have no idea why Karan Johar would agree upon something like this. The way modern Indian culture depicted in this movie is so condemnable. Please don't watch this movie guys or you will want to slap the director and the actors for choosing this script. 'Normal Human beings' will definitely hate this movie. May be they should try showing this movie to Zombies so that they could eat these peoples brains and just kill them right away!

Mystery11 This is really bad. Same stupid story from a century ago. The plot is predictable and you can tell what will happen in the end from the beginning. This is a complete duplicate of other movies from the part of writing department. The dialogues are way too cheesy. Unless you want to see some skin of Alia, it's pure waste of time. Girl is getting married. Then falls in love with another. Family doesn't agree. They beat up the new guy. Blah blah blah... In the end, lover gets the girl. Looks like Bollywood is running out of ideas. Save your money and just listen/watch songs in you tube. Songs are pretty good though so that's the only thing good in this movie. Not recommended.

test project I can say this is predicted incident movie, because of it's speeches and incidents. When watching, all is happened like I know earlier it's gonna happen next. How worst and ridiculous funny romantic movie story and script it is. Hero isn't worthy to get heroin but knot with her at last showing some emotions and extra facility from heroin's family members which is fully hilarious. This is more funny when heroin's father himself intend to give his daughter for smoking with hero and influenced by his wife and mother! Al the last I think movie might be turned back when heroin's brother in law returned to her sister life which will possible for hero's efforts, loll but I was wrong :P . Besides hero's two friend talking about BD-Keyea cricket match that no one watch it, by the way director and script writer should know there are vast population in BD and Keyea who are main spectacular of their match. No need to watch any Indians to watch it. There is no right for any loser director to use another country and their cricket match for funny show. This movie is also show how we young generation specially woman create physical relation before marriage and after extramarital relation. ( Vanu and Accounts sir wife) So this is time wasting and fully fraud show for young generation and all, besides it's a shame for Dharma Production.
